The jury will continue deliverating Wednesday morning.
in closing arguments of her murder trial in a case that has riveted the Bay State.The jury will continue deliberations Wednesday in a case that stems from the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe, whose body was found bruised and battered in the snow on January 29, 2022, outside the home of a fellow Boston police officer in the suburb of Canton.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there was a cover-up in this case, plain and simple," defense attorney Alan Jackson said. "You'll surely say to yourself, 'I don't want to believe it, I don't want to believe that could happen in our community,' but sadly over these past eight weeks you've seen it right before your eyes."
The prosecution's case also has been hampered by a series of missteps and unusual investigative practices.
The defense disagreed. "They cannot distance themselves from the stench of him on this case and this investigation. Those secret group chats illustrate the quality and care of this investigation," Jackson said.The heart of the trial stems from what happened on one wintry evening in Canton over two years ago.
